4th Gen WS6 Rims

I just bought some 17x9 WS6 rims for my bird. I'm probably going to be running 275/40/17's on all 4 corners. I'm putting an 98+ rear on the back, so I'm going to be needing two adapters for the front.

Anyway, to the point. Does anyone have some pictures comparing the 2" and 2.25" adapters with this setup? I prefer the "flush to the top of the flender fare" look, so I was just wondering which one will get me the results I'm looking for.

Before I got my Baer brake setup I ran 2.25" in front and 1.25" in back. I run 255/40/17 in front, and they stuck out a bit more then I liked. I'd definetly get the 2" ones. The rears are 275/40/17.

Now with the Baers, I only needed a 1.7" up front.

i use 2" all the way around, and the front is a pretty flush look as you can see in the pictures. if you're wanting something just SLIGHTLY more outward get the 2.25" it's just a matter of preference, i like the flush look as well so i went with 2"
